Michaelis–Menten kinetics during dry etching processes

The chemical etching of germanium in Br2 environment at elevated temperatures is described by the Michaelis–Menten equation. The validity limit of Michaelis–Menten kinetics is subjected to the detailed analysis. The steady-state etching rate requires synergy of two different process parameters. High purity gas should be directed to the substrate on which intermediate reaction product does not ...

Hydroxyl-stretching region in the Raman broad scans on minerals of the vivianite group

Vivianite is a hydrated iron phosphate mineral (Fe3(PO4)2·8H2O), crystallized in a monoclinic system. It is the endmember of a mineral series known as the vivianite group, where minerals have the general formula A3(XO4)2·8H2O, A is a divalent metal cation and X is phosphorus P or arsenic As. Today, vivianite is attracting interest as a promising material for recovering phosphorous from wastewate...

Synthesis and Characterization of Zincoxide Nanoparticles of Average Diameter 10nm in Aqueous Medium

Synthesis of Zincoxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) with definite size and shape and their morphological characterization rationally is really a challenging aspect at present due to the ongoing demand of these nanosize particles for their divergent use in different field of science and technology. Reduction of Zinc acetate dihydrate by sodium hydroxide was performed to produce ZnO NPs by follow...

The Microscopic Mechanisms Involved in Superexchange

:In earlier work, we previously established a formalism that allows to express the exchange energy J vs. fundamental molecular integrals without crystal field, for a fragment A–X–B, where A and B are 3d 1 ions and X is a closed-shell diamagnetic ligand. In this article, we recall this formalism and give a physical interpretation: we may rigorously predict the ferromagnetic (J < 0) or antif...
